Frequent reauth doesn't make you more secure

Frequent reauth doesn't make you more secure You're happily working away, fingers flying, deep in flow, and suddenly, boink, your session has expired. You sigh, re-enter your password (again), complete an MFA challenge (again), maybe approve an email notification (again), and finally — access restored. Until next time. This wasn't so bad when it was just passwords; we all got pretty fast at retyping our passwords. But all those MFA challenges really slow us down. And MFA fatigue attacks, a gro

Electric Cooler vs. Ice Cooler: I Went Camping With Both to See Which Is Better

cnet.com See Full Bio 2026-03-22 14:57:00

I've observed that the electrification of any product brings with it a higher price for interested buyers. Case in point, everything from cars to bikes to coolers, once electrified, costs a lot more than their legacy counterparts. With that said, the benefits of a tool powered by electricity can't be understated. With that said, if you're planning camping trips this summer and need a new cooler, I've set out to test a "regular" icebox-style cooler against Anker's new Solix EverFrost 2 to see ho

Google Pixels are no longer the AOSP reference device

news.ycombinator.com Abner Li 2026-03-22 18:53:08

With the launch of Android 16 earlier this week, Google did not release the Pixel hardware repos and device trees that are particularly important for custom ROM developers. This led to speculation by some that “AOSP is being discontinued.” Google has denied that, but the Pixel change does look to be intentional. On Tuesday, Google released Android 16’s source code to the Android Open Source Project (AOSP). However, the Pixel device trees and other code used to adapt the AOSP release to specific

AOSP isn’t dead, but Google just landed a huge blow to custom ROM developers

Mishaal Rahman / Android Authority TL;DR Google has made it harder to build custom Android ROMs for Pixel phones by omitting their device trees and driver binaries from the latest AOSP release. The company says this is because it’s shifting its AOSP reference target from Pixel hardware to a virtual device called “Cuttlefish” to be more neutral. While Google insists AOSP isn’t going away, developers must now reverse-engineer changes, making the process for supporting Pixel devices more difficu
